In a new Introduction he describes its evolution from a reaction to Sixties' social change into an entrenched political force promoting an assertive, even belligerent, foreign policy.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eMore than three decades ago, in \u003ci\u003eThe Neoconservatives\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Steinfels described a nascent movement, predicting that it would be the sixties’ “most enduring legacy to American politics.\u003c\/b\u003e” Now, in a new foreword to that portrait, he traces neoconservatism’s fateful transformation. What was a movement of dissenting intellectuals creating a new, modern kind of conservatism became a phalanx of political insiders urging the nation to flex its muscles overseas.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003ci\u003eThe Neoconservatives\u003c\/i\u003e describes the founders of the movement, disenchanted liberals recoiling from the turmoil of the sixties, a decline in authority, and a loss of tough-minded leadership at home and abroad. Written contemporaneously to the birth of a movement that would profoundly mark American history, \u003ci\u003eThe Neoconservatives\u003c\/i\u003e holds clues, Stein­fels argues, to how and why neoconservatism swerved from its original promise even as it successfully implanted itself as an influential and aggressive element in our politics. This is a landmark book, “an important contribution to understanding the influence of ideas on American politics” (\u003ci\u003eCongress Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"To order - ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42547178995870,"sku":"HPC-9781476728834","price":31.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9781476728834.jpg?v=1681562594","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781476728834","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
